Ubuntu 13.04. I have also compiled GDC successfully using

Ubuntu 13.10-x86_64 here (alpha). Do you use these
instructions?
I'll describe exactly what I do.
Let's suppose that we have a directory called $(GDCDIR) that
holds everything.
In $(GDCDIR)/dev I have my local copy of the GDC git repo.
This is GDC master,
not any of the 4.x branches.
In $(GDCDIR)/gcc-4.8.1 I have the GCC sources. This is just
the .tar.gz
download from one of the GCC mirrors, unzipped.
Then:
cd $(GDCDIR)/dev
./setup-gcc.sh ../gcc-4.8.1
mkdir ../objdir
cd ../objdir
../gcc-4.8.1/configure --enable-languages=d
--disable-multilib
--enable-checking=release --prefix=/opt/gdc
make [ with -j for as many processors as you can spare,
it helps! ]
Well, it worked! Thanks a lot!
It's no longer necessary to bother with the hassle of getting
Debian/Ubuntu GCC
sources, as from 4.8 on GCC supports multiarch. This also
saves the hassle of
having to patch the Debian sources.
I never properly succeed into accomplishing all these steps. It
patched, but it never compiled to the end. Thank you for the new
method.
With the above done, if I pull in any updates from GDC master,
I can rebuild as
follows:
cd $(GDCDIR)/dev
./setup-gcc.sh --update ../gcc-4.8.1
cd ../objdir
make [ still use -j as many processors as you can :-) ]
I just can't wait to try this! I am looking impatiently for the
next gdc commit...
I should add that I arrived at this simple process
substantially thanks to a
good deal of coaching and education from Iain, without whom GCC
would have
defeated me :-)
Kudos, Iain!
When I did use .deb sources, I used gcc-snapshot -- I described
the process
here:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.1605.1352199912.5162.d....@puremagic.com
... although watch out, there's one important typo in that set
of instructions.
If I will have the time, one day...
Anyway, the instructions in this email are probably the best to
go with now.
Completely agree.
Let me know how it goes for you ... :-)
Kudos, kudos, kudos.
Best wishes,
Tha same to you!

P.S. You'll probably also want to install gdmd which these days
has a separate
git repo. Very easy to install -- you just need to tweak the
Makefile so that
the install prefix goes where you want it to.
I will try that too.
